Righteous anger and Zeal does not equate to hate,pride or arrogance and are fully justified.

I guess you don't care if your marijuana addition funds murderous international drug cartels. If that is how adults think, I don't want to be one.

You know Cartels are not the sole suppliers of Weed in north america. In fact, they supply the very worst kind of weed.It doesnt take a complicated criminal network to distribute Cannabis. Alot of dealers sells their own shit they grow without having to get into territorial dispute. Criminals shoots each other for the harder stuff. You are sleeping and we forgive you, but time to wake up.

exactly. when i used to smoke, the weed i smoked was grown locally in canada in my home town in basements, hydroponically. there was not a pedro to be found. your 'argument' is moot.

Long-term marijuana abuse can lead to addiction; that is, compulsive drug seeking and abuse despite its known harmful effects upon social functioning in the context of family, school, work, and recreational activities. Long-term marijuana abusers trying to quit report irritability, sleeplessness, decreased appetite, anxiety, and drug craving, all of which make it difficult to quit. These withdrawal symptoms begin within about 1 day following abstinence, peak at 2-3 days, and subside within 1 or 2 weeks following drug cessation.

The withdrawal alone is evidence that it's doing something negative to your brain. I hear potsmokers say that alcohol is so much worse. That really depends, doesn't it? I know longtime pot smokers who have psychological issues as well as physical, from the weed. Let's not forget that weed grown today is something like 100x stronger than it was in the 60s. It's a drug like any other. Cocaine comes from a plant and it destroys your heart. The natural claim is bunk, as many, many natural things are detrimental to human health. Anyway, all I am going to say is there are longterm pot smokers in my immediate family and none of them are in good shape mentally whereas once they were quite shapr and creative. It kills something in you. Brain cells, it would seem.

I dont know about the subjects of this study but i started smoking at 14, i am now 42, have an IQ of 145 and make over 6 figures a year. i smoked steadily from 14 to 40. the only reason i quit was my recent job transition which required me to do so.

Yes, for teens who should know better. If it's legal:#1 Harder to get because unlikes a drug dealer, a clerk request age ID.#2 Push off criminal network off the school, since there's no money in it anymore.

it was easy to quit, even after 24 years, if you really want to (i did, for a job change)

i do acknowledge i know other smokers who have turned into what i term as a "burn out" but i don't entirely blame weed on that, it depends on the person i suppose.

one thing i miss is the spark of creativity it gave me musically, it made me want to pick up the guitar and write music prolifically, which i haven't done much at all since i quit.

I think this study doesnt take into account the fact that a large portion of teens smoking weed, had to hang out with bad kids with bad influence...because it's illegal, you'll be running across these kind of people. That can play out alot on your ambitions.

i was involved with a LOT of 'bad kids' when i was a teenager - in fact i was probably one of the 'bad kids'

dont get me wrong here, i have 4 children and if i had my way i would prefer they don't do any drugs, including and especially alcohol. but i think some people paint marijuana with a brush that it doesn't deserve. the main thing that even attracted me to this thread was the title, with the words "marijuana" and "addict" in the same sentence.

I was actually trying to discredit the study brought up by OP, by involving an omitted factor.
